If you answer a Craigslist ad and get a response like this, be advised, it's a scam:

Hello Dear,
Thanks for the email. I own the house and also want you to know that it was due to my transfer to ( West Africa , Nigeria ) that makes us to leave the house and also want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person and God fearing person who can take very good care of the house in my absence.we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own.
So for now, I am here in West Africa and will be staying here for the next 3years in our new house and also with the keys of the house for rent, we try to look for an agent that we can give this documents and the keys before we left but could not find, and we as well do not want our house to be used any how in our absence that is why we took it along with us.
We came over to Africa for a missionary work, so i hope you will promise us that you will take very good care of the house. So get back to me if you know you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home.Hope you are okay with the price of $1200 per month and the security Deposit is $600.Get back to me for the rental application.You can go and view.

I just received the following email from a friend of mine. He's a good writer, so I know it wasn't from him. It also came address "From:" a hotmail account that he doesn't use. Beware -- if you receive the same email, it is a scam:
Hello,
It is with profound sense of sadness i wrote this email to you. I don't know
how you will find this but you just have to forgive me for not telling you
before leaving. I traveled down to United Kingdom Yesterday for a short
vacation but unfortunately,i was mugged at a gun point on my way to the
hotel i lodged all my money and all other vital documents including my
credit card and my cell phone have been stolen by muggers.
I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues
at all,Things are difficult here and i don't know what to do at the moment
that why i email to ask if you can lend me £1,000.00 so i can settle the
hotel bill and get a returning ticket back home. Please do me this great
help and i promise to refund the money as soon as i get back home.
I look forward to your positive response.
Thanks
Jon |
Here are the clues...
My friend Jon is a writer. He'd never write "to United Kingdom Yesterday for a short" without his hands falling off. He wouldn't capitalize Police. He doesn't spell i in lowercase. He doesn't end sentences in commas. Jon wouldn't refund the money, he would repay it. Maybe, in a hurry, Jon would commit one of those errors, but not all of them.
Jon and I are both American. He wouldn't ask me for £, he would ask for $. He wouldn't go "down" to the U.K..
Jon and I don't have the relationship where he'd have to apologize for not telling me that he's leaving for a vacation.
What probably happened here is that someone got into Jon's contacts somehow and everyone in the book got spammed. You may receive similar email from one of your friends, someday. Don't be taken.

A friend of mine just sent this to me...
My house mate, who was supposed to go in for pancreatic [Cancer] surgery tomorrow.
The wonderful insurance company DENIED the surgery TODAY (it's been scheduled for a month), saying that the surgeon who was supposed to perform it has "not been ...in the plan network long enough".
He is in pain, he's been mentally preparing for this for weeks, his parents took time off of work and traveled hundreds of miles to be in Portland with him, and now? NOTHING. This is total BULL$%&#! |
Don't think Health Insurance reform is important enough to do it now? What if it was your life slipping away while the insurance companies delay the cure?
